Looking for an appraiser in Portland area who is familiar with doing both the "as is" and "subject to" valuations.  

If anyone can recommend someone I'd appreciate it.  

Thanks.

I’m heading to Boston tomorrow. Just seeing if any BP folk are headed that way.

I'll do my best. 

Sorry I missed this.  Didn't have my notifications setup property on my new email account :-/

Outside of real estate, but someone looking for a business line of credit, or business financing for a non-real estate business.   So happens to be a real estate business client of mine.

Loan anywhere from $200k-500K

Danke.

@Joe Villeneuve - There are "Hard Money Lenders" who have loan products in the 5.5-8.5 range for buy and hold. I'm not suggesting using a short-term, HML, for a hold product. I'm talking about the longer term programs these lenders are rolling out.

5.5 - 8.5 year extended programs are NOT reasons to use them for holds. Their high interest charges don't like cash flow, and in 5 - 8 years, you are now looking to do what you should have done in the beginning...get a 30 year loan. This would be an example of the REI paying the interest on the note holding the property. Using a 30 year term is an example of the tenant paying the interest for you.

That "extended" term you are talking about is also an example of, "just because you can, doesn't mean you should".

 It really depends on the value of the property you purchase, whether or not getting rates in the 5s makes sense for you.  I'm not into people speaking for others.

I have a borrower who purchases condos (more difficult) for estimated $140,000 in NJ.  And the rent is around $1400 as well (1%), which is good for the area.

He uses HML, interest only, to acquire fast, and pays around 7.9% for 6 months, no rehab loans, and gets 75% of purchase. It's a "hard money loan", and he does refi out into conventional. Double close. Expenses are higher, but he's getting it done and cash flowing. He doesn't want to deal with banks, and needs money fast in a market that is competitive.

HML space is super competitive, and rates and terms are getting pretty close to banks for commercial loans.
